Dream visits are undeniably real.  Those you love who have passed will take advantage of the dream state, when your mind is not so focused on the physical, to let you know they are still with you.  And what do they do?  They use the physical body to get you to say, “But it seemed so real!”  You may feel the touch of a hand, pressure on some part of the bed or body, or perhaps a hug.  You may shake and quake.  All around you may feel solid.  Something stands out in the dream that lets you know, “I am here!”  The dream state is just another state of being. It is no more or less real than your current state of awareness as you read these words, and that is how it is in the state in which you will find yourself when you cross the veil, for the veil is only a metaphor.  There is no veil.  There is only Consciousness experiencing awareness in various states.  Do not judge reality by the body, by physicality.  That is only one way in which Consciousness experiences:  through sensation, which is all the body is … a vehicle for sensation, but you are so much more than that.  You are This .. Awareness … Being.  Being what?  Alive, with or without the body, for Consciousness is eternal, and you are This.
